Thanks everyone for the advice

Thanks for the advice but how can I initiate the transfer of application from Islamabad to Amsterdam? My husband’s PR card is currently in renewal stage. Thanks for all your help.

Hi fellow members,

Does anyone know that which month’s cases Islamabad Embassy is processing right now? My case was documentarily qualified in Aug 2022. Have not heard back from NVC yet. Also we moved to Amsterdam for my husband’s job (I files petition for him) in Aug last year. Is it worth transferring the case there? Or I am going to get further late. I know these are not grounds for expediting but any response here will be appreciated.

Thanks @mam521 for your response. Yeah it sounds ridiculous but I guess I have to wait as per the process.

Prepare for another 90 day wait... 

You might get lucky and get DQ'ed sooner. 

Thanks @Kor2USA for the prompt response. I am keeping my fingers crossed for this situation.

Hi fellow VJ members,

Hope all of you are in good health. We had received a note from NVC case reviewer to submit I-864 forms with wet-ink signatures and original copy of birth certificate. Rest of all the documents have been duly accepted. We submitted the corrected documents more than two weeks ago.Can someone please guide me how long NVC takes to review additional documents? I tried calling NVC helpline but it is of no use and you cannot speak to an actual representative. I am afraid if we will be going back in line with 90 day time limit. Some forums states that they take 2-6 weeks extra. Any update here will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mary

Thanks for the reply. How can I make my case more lucrative with USCIS as I am a student right now and wants to bring my husband in US. I think I-864 is a key document for us to help support the application. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks do we also need to file I-864A or separate I-864 will suffice for the application?

No unless his income continues from the same employer after he gets the GC.

Hi fellow VJ members,

I recently got my I-130 petition approved for my husband. I currently don't earn anything however my husband has a very good accounting job in his home country at a senior leadership position. My brother has agreed to be co-sponsor on I-864 application. How should I fill out the I-864 being the principal petitioner since I don't have any W-2s? My last three tax returns have been under MFJ status with sufficient income, however those lists out my husband as the primary filer. He was previously working under H-1B visa in US before coming back to his home country last year.

My brother has also a very good job to show support for 4 people. which is way over the 125% poverty level stated rate of $34K. I know the principal petitioner and co-sponsor are supposed to show their assets and income position to USCIS to supplement our case.

Can my husband show his salary slips and local tax return and append it with I-864? Please advise.

Regards,

I called them but the wait time is ridiculous. They asked me to wait for 82 mins. I think its all because of Covid related staff shortage at USCIS or maybe the influx of applications is too much.

At every prompt just say “technical support” you may have to say it three or four times but it will eventually transfer you to a representative. Say it even when they ask you how you would like to receive the info…via text or email…respond with “technical support”

Thanks @Ericka Womack

Thanks @portorusa. Do you know how can we reach a representative to talk to? It's very difficult to navigate their IVR system especially when it's not lenient to transfer over calls.

Hi fellow VJ members,

We received a RFE letter from Vermont Service Center for submitting additional proof regarding our marriage. The letter was received on July 8, 2021 and we were supposed to submit response by October 8, 2021. We compiled the necessary documentation and mailed it back to VSC on July 30, 2021. The correspondence was received by VSC on Aug 6, 2021. However,  when I go and check my case status online, it still requires me to respond to the RFE letter online by submitting the scanned copies of those documents. I tried uploading those on their portal but there is an error coming in during upload process. I reached out to USCIS technical team via chat feature but they did not respond me back. I tried calling them multiple times but the IVR system does not transfer my call to an actual representative and shuts my call down if I tried to bypass the system. Please advise how should I approach my case with USCIS as I am afraid that if they did not resume processing on our case due to non-submission of required documents, the petition will expire by Oct 8, 2021.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks @LuckyCat for the quick reply. I will read this guide over and submit the required documentation accordingly.

Hi everyone,

I am sponsoring my husband to come and live with me in US. My husband is currently residing outside of US and we got married two years back. I am currently not employed but my brother with whom I stay currently has agreed to show financial support which is required under Form I-864. We will be filing the I-130 form and I-130A form shortly. Are we required to submit the Form I-864 (financial support) along with this application or USCIS will mail my husband separately asking for this form at a later date? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mary
